FAQ
- "Method is exceeding the 65536 bytes limit"
- In almost all
computer languages You would choose not to hardcode subcommands or
functions as language keywords, but as identifiers, thus eliminating
ever growing grammars, as Your language evolves? This is also a way to
surpass the Java Bytecode Formats limitation of not allowing methods
bigger than 65k
- Which Java version matches
the code, produced by CUP?
- Since You don't use
generics as data types for non terminals or You don't use new syntax
in Your user code, You can compile Your parser with JDK 1.2+
- The CUP-Anttask has a bug
- it doesn't find my directory xy
- This is no CUP bug! If You use Your CUP with
Ant and keep Your directories as properties, then verify, that You are
using the location attribute instead of the value attribute
- My CUP/JFlex task drops
strange erros when using CUP v11a
- JFlex is build upon CUP
runtime, so having JFlex and
CUP both residing in the same
classpath will confuse Java and
make CUP v11a use the v10 runtime,
and thus run into errors. Try
to include the jars separately

In general
- What's
been introduced since CUP v11a
development started?
- Parsing theory hasn't
changed much since 1999, so the
major changes have been made in
the user interface and
frontend. With CUP v0.11a, You can:
- use CUP in an Ant-Target
- start CUP by a simple command like java -jar java-cup-11a.jar myGrammar.cup
- use generic parametrized classes (since Java 1.5) as datatypes for non
terminals and terminals
- have Your own symbol classes
- How do
You use CUP-TUM?
- You can obtain the
documentation for CUP here. If You speak german, You could also have a look at the Merkblatt, which describes the use of ant and the compiler tools.
